✿•˖* essencekit application ୨୧ ﹋﹋ ⪩⪨ introduction ⪩⪨ this is my application for essencekit in @Mapleshade1111's "splintered" litter! ﹋﹋ ⪩⪨ application ⪩⪨ ❥ username : dqiry ❥ about you : I’m an artist here in the scratch community! I like to draw (duh), write, and animate once in a blue moon. I’m looking to get back into role playing after a hiatus I took! ❥ activity levels : I’ll probably be pretty active. Maybe around a 7/10...? ❥ roleplay experience : I’ve had one character before in generations, that being spicekit! Sadly, she passed before I could anything with her. I’ve also had characters in twc, tfc, and panopticon before! Additionally, I’ve done my fair share of roleplay in wcue on roblox! ❥ kit you're applying for : essencekit ❥ kit gender, pronouns, sexuality : essence will be a cisgender female, use she/her pronouns, and be neptunic! ❥ personality traits : [+] polite, humble, conscientious, responsible [=] cautious, dreamy, shy [-] cowardly, indecisive, anxious, clumsy ❥ why that kit, why you should win : the moment i saw essencekit, i fell in love with her design! she looks very lovely and i would love to roleplay as her! I believe I should win because I have experience writing, so I will be able to create well-written roleplays; additionally, i have a good amount of freetime, and can roleplay somewhat often! Additionally, I tried to be fairly thorough in my research >< ❥ research : [EDIT: Osteochondrodysplasia is from the floppy ear mutation, not the other way around! Thanks, @Mapleshade1111 for pointing this out!] floppy ears: (i did my research on scottish fold cats, since they characteristically have folded ears!) The mutation causing these folded ears is called Osteochondrodysplasia, and it affects cartilage formation and can cause various deformities--serious abnormalities in joints and bone growth can lead to arthritis, short, abnormally thick and inflexible tails, spinal abnormalities and short, stiff legs. while it seems essencekit was miraculously born without any of these issues, that doesn't mean there aren't concerns revolving around the ears themselves. For example, the unique ear shape of these cats may contribute to wax buildup, which would create an ideal environment for bacteria and yeast to grow. Without regular cleaning, these waxy ears can develop painful infections. Cats with folded ears may also be more prone to skin irritation. So essencekit would probably be affected by her folded ears in the sense that she could more easily develop infections, and is more prone to skin irritation, since it seems she's escaped the deformities caused by Osteochondrodysplasia. sources: rspca, webmd, avma, vetsy, vets love pets ❥ roleplay example : essensekit yawned, blinking her dreary eyes open as the sunlight filtered in through the nursery, tickling her nose. she would stretch out her limbs, a soft purr escaping her as she basked in the warm sunlight. she would sit silently, awaiting the wake of her littermates, for she didn't quite have many friends other than them to play with. ﹋﹋ description of essencekit by : "Essencekit || AFAB || The second-youngest kit has a height of 7.5 inches at full, with a boxy build. Her argentinian blue eyes shift anxiously, dark gray-streaked fur shifting as she adjusts her bearing. || Research: Floppy ears || Inspired by Re-Shephir " ﹋﹋ ⪩⪨ enjoy! ⪩⪨
